A good friend of mine has given me a 5 update. Can I update 3.1 with this. If so am I likely to hit any horrendous problems. I have some critical projects on the go at the moment in 3.1 and realise that any software house would not do this without running the two side by side so any advice welcomed.
Nothing fishy at all. I have the box for 5 right in front of me (slightly to my right actually) and have been using a licensed version of 3.1 SX from Digital Village in Birmingham for six years now. Purchased from the good man Romluc. The 5 was bought in error by a friend I’m producing some music with. She didn’t realise it required a dongel. She has given it to me in kind. If I had read the side of the box it does say “upgrade to 4 and sx3”. So, looks like I’m in luck but not until mission critical projects have been finished
Why would you need proof of ownership ? You can either install it or you can’t Now I’m confused. Well i’ll try and get an official answer. All I can say is that I have a legitimate box of the Cubase 5 update. I think we can kill this one for the time being.
If the box says it’s an upgrade from 3 to 5 and you have a valid 3 license everything is fine. @Nate: You can buy upgrades whenever you want, without proving anything. The upgrade is worthless anyway if you don’t own a license.
Well. Cheers all. Yes I have a the license code from 3.1\4 to 5 and the Halion Symphonic Orchestra 90 day trial !! and thanks for the info about installing side by side. Like you say - I may as well go for it - as of today it seems the mission critical project is so mission critical. Ah well - **** happens
